A mysterious, romantic, very colorful love story…

That also shows quite a lot about how a TV show is really created and filmed on location in a sunny place like Florida with a very realistic look at Hollywood.

It’s like a delicious carrot cake that underneath its yummy icing has much more substantial value, because aside from Carleton enjoying creating a fun and mysterious love-and-Hollywood story, he wrote the book in fact to explore how our conscious mind submerges us in an amazing variety of fantasies - music, daydreams, sports, paintball wars, novels, TV, and actual dreams - to free itself from the constraints of our bodies and our animal needs for sex and power…

Which means the story also deeply explores limerence - the pursuit of bonding, romantic love of the sort that lies behind love-at-first-sight and most classic Broadway shows…

MONKEY BUSINESS is a novel of ideas - and a deep, modern look at human psychology - wrapped up inside a magical, mysterious love story set within a realistic story about a Hollywood TV shoot in Florida.
